      “living in a large town significantly reduced the likelihood of voters to opt for Hitler, as did the existence of strong ideological and political traditions.”

      Abolish suburbanism and ruralism, automate the farms

      Gonna meet one of the people running for Shaheen’s spot in Congress on Friday. I like her so far, but her housing policy is… interesting.

      >I’ll push for a living minimum wage that rises with inflation, cut the cost of childcare, and crackdown on the private equity firms artificially inflating the cost of housing, while pushing for a rapid increase in the construction of new homes.

      Blaming BlackRock while ALSO being pro building is unusual.

      > Second, the best case for Bitcoin has always been the argument that it can in effect become digital gold. After all, gold, like Bitcoin, is an asset that is awkward to transfer and isn’t useful as a means of payment in the modern world. Yet gold has retained its historic role as a perceived safe haven, an asset people buy when the world looks uncertain and dangerous. If Bitcoin could take over even part of that traditional role, its value could make sense.

      > But over the past few months we’ve been experiencing a lot of turmoil and uncertainty, leading to widespread talk about a “debasement trade” in which investors doubt whether dollars are still the safe haven they used to be. And the verdict so far is that the future replacement for gold is . . . gold. Investors have piled into the yellow stuff even while dumping Bitcoin, which is acting like a speculative tech stock rather than a safe haven.

      Magic missile always hits, because the magic missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t.

      By subtracting where it is from where it isn’t, or where it isn’t from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation.

      The arcane guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the magic missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn’t, and arriving at a position where it wasn’t, it now is.

      Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn’t, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn’t.

      Canada had net emigration this past year or so and Canada’s economy is still struggling. As it turns out, immigration isn’t really responsible for Canada’s economic woes and is only a convenient scapegoat, but don’t tell people on arrCanada that

      FYI Canada’s labour force participation rate has declined to 65% so this isn’t really due to temporary immigrants going home

      # Major PC OEMs Reportedly Exploring Chinese CXMT Memory Amid Shortages

      [https://www.techpowerup.com/346035/major-pc-oems-reportedly-exploring-chinese-cxmt-memory-amid-shortages](https://www.techpowerup.com/346035/major-pc-oems-reportedly-exploring-chinese-cxmt-memory-amid-shortages)

      According to Nikkei Asia, some of the biggest PC makers like ASUS, Acer, Dell, and HP are exploring alternative memory suppliers amid industry-wide memory shortages, which are forcing PC OEMs to seek supply even from Chinese memory maker CXMT. Late last year, CXMT unveiled its homegrown DDR5-8000 and LPDDR5X-10667 memory modules at the 2025 China International Semiconductor Expo. This has likely prompted many OEMs to start finding alternatives to the traditional triad of SK Hynix, Samsung, and Micron, whose supply has been very limited outside AI accelerator workloads.
